Description of work

Allegretto A minor 4/4 (C), 34 bars


Libretto/text

Pagen højt paa Taarnet sad, stirred ud saa vide, digted paa et Elskovskvad om sin Elskovskvide, kunde ikke faa det samlet, sad og famled nu med Stjerner, nu med Roser. Intet rimed sig paa Roser. Satte fortviflet saa Hornet for mund, knuged vredt sit Værge, blæte saa sin Elskov ud over alle Bjærge.
